Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Meta en janv. 2010
Entretien
I was referred by an employee and was contacted by a hr recruiter, who scheduled a phone interview with me. From reading online I was expecting a basic screen with questions like why do I want to work at Facebook, and what I do currently. I wasn't expecting any technical questions at this stage but she did throw a basic search question, which flustered me a bit, and after a few minutes of me talking it out but not giving the exact right answer, she said she would get back to me with next steps which would either be to complete one of the puzzles on the website or to schedule phone interviews with an engineer. Promptly the next day she responded that I needed to do at least one of the puzzles and that there was no time limit, but the faster I completed it, the faster I could move on. I'm currently working on one of the puzzles.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Given the numbers 1 to 1000, what is the minimum numbers guesses needed to find a specific number if you are given the hint "higher" or "lower" for each guess you make.
Unexpectedly, the first question in the technical round felt familiar. It was about finding a subset of strings with unique character concatenation — same problem I had worked through on PracHub a few days earlier. The interview included a recruiter screen followed by a rigorous pair of technical interviews where I tackled data structures and algorithms alongside system design concepts. After successfully answering a few more challenging DSA questions, I received an offer. The entire experience was intense but ultimately rewarding, and I happily accepted the position.

Question 1
Given an array of strings, pick a subset whose concatenation contains no duplicate characters, and return the maximum possible length of that concatenation.
Standard cookie cutter interview with a coding interview, a system design interview and culture interview. The coding part is basically leetcode. The system design is what you can find on many youtube videos. The culture one is more tricky as they want to see that you fit Meta's culture, not that you were doing great at your existing company. So skills like dealing with conflict without calling in managers is sought after.

Question 1
coding: I forgot, sorry
system design: design ticketmaster
culture: talk about past project; when you disagreed with a peer; how I resolved dissagreements, etc.
The interview felt more straightforward than I anticipated for a well-known tech giant. After a recruiter screen, I faced a technical round that included a DSA question about finding the lowest common ancestor in a binary tree. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized the exact problem had popped up in the algorithm practice section on PracHub during my prep. Ultimately, the experience was decent, but I chose to decline the offer as it didn’t align with my current goals.
